- Opis:
- One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) prenosnik, zeleno-bele barve, na zgornji strani logo. [SLO]: OLPC XO, poceni prenosni računalnik, ki ga je leta 2007 predstavila neprofitna organizacija One Laptop per Child (OLPC), je bil posebej zasnovan za šole in otroke v državah v razvoju. Proizvajalec Quanta Computer je napravo izdelal tako, da je bila trpežna, energetsko učinkovita in cenovno dostopna, pri čemer je uporabljala operacijski sistem Linux. Sprva je OLPC računalnik stal 188 dolarjev, vendar je organizacija želela do leta 2008 znižati stroške na 100 dolarjev. OLPC XO je bil zelo cenjen v skupnosti odprtokodnih programov, saj je bil zasnovan z mislijo na dostopnost in vzdržljivost. Da bi dosegli te cilje, je prenosnik vključeval več inovativnih lastnosti: namesto tradicionalnega trdega diska je uporabljal bliskovni pomnilnik in namerno izpustil vse motorno gnane gibljive dele. Prvotni dizajn je celo vključeval ročico za ročno polnjenje baterije, z LED indikatorjem, ki je uporabnikom kazal minimalno hitrost vrtenja, potrebno za učinkovito polnjenje. Kljub omejeni strojni opremi in nekoliko nerazviti programski opremi je bil zaslon XO zelo hvaljen. Zaslon je imel edinstveno funkcijo, ki je omogočala izklop osvetlitve ozadja, kar ga je spremenilo v odsevni črno-beli zaslon, idealen za uporabo na neposredni sončni svetlobi. Z živahnim, otrokom prijaznim dizajnom, tipkovnico iz gume in NiMH baterijami je bil prenosnik prilagojen potrebam mladih uporabnikov, še posebej tistih, ki so se prvič srečevali z moderno tehnologijo. [ENG]: The OLPC XO, a low-cost laptop introduced in 2007 by the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) non-profit organization, was specifically designed for schools and children in developing countries. Manufactured by Quanta Computer, this device was built to be durable, energy-efficient, and affordable, running on a Linux operating system. Initially priced at $188 in 2006, OLPC aimed to reduce the cost to $100 by 2008. Highly regarded by the open-source community, the OLPC XO was engineered with affordability and resilience in mind. To achieve these objectives, the laptop incorporated several innovative features: it utilized flash memory in place of a traditional hard drive and intentionally omitted all motor-driven moving parts. The original design even included a hand crank for manual battery recharging, with an LED indicator to guide users on the minimum winding speed required for effective charging. Despite its limited hardware and somewhat underdeveloped software, the XO's display was widely praised. The screen had a unique feature allowing the backlight to be turned off, transforming it into a reflective black-and-white display, ideal for use in direct sunlight. With its vibrant, child-friendly design, rubberized keyboard, and NiMH batteries, the laptop was tailored to the needs of young users, particularly those encountering modern technology for the first time.
